Suggestions - What would you like to see in the art group?

[AvidLebon]

Right now I'm working on making our group bigger and better, but want to know what you, the users want to see from it. What do you like? What don't you like? What do you want to see more of?  

[Lupas Deva]

I'd like to see more really good gaia artists. My suggestions.

Adnama Lavode
Shivaj
Graconius
Saka xp

And any other gaia artist. I'm sure I'm missing a lot.

I would like to see maybe a place for some of the artists to post links to their shop.
Because I know some of us are here just to see the art others do, and aren't artists ourselves.
It would be convenient for the people who just want to see more gaia artists, and good exposure for artists interested in selling avatar art.

Good idea, I'll make a blog that ppl can reply to and post something here in the forum biggrin  

[NeoSolar]

Do we have any sort of lounge area to just get to know each other and chat about whatever?  

[AvidLebon]

Well, the lovely Lupas Deva donated gold to the guild, I wasn't sure what subforum to make- I think I'll use it on making a lounge. Then we can chatter about anything, while the main forum will stay guild/group related.

I would like to suggest an art auction thread.

We post the date up on when the art auction starts and ends.

Once it ends, simply delete it, if possible, or post it on the thread itself.  

[AvidLebon]

This suggestion gives me an idea! Before I was thinking of having a member spotlight, every other week we interview one of our members in our group blog for all our members to see.. why not end it with an art auction? (Bids would take place in the comments.)

I think it would be a neat way to find out more about each other, and how cool would it be that once you know more about a gaia artist you have the opportunity to get a custom picture from them? biggrin

Also, we can have an art auction thread in the forum. I'm not sure how it would work for multiple artists- perhaps anyone having an art auction would post a link to their personal auction in the main thread? If you'd like to make it, Sakura, you may- I think you might have more experience setting up that sort of thing. :3  

[Cassidy Peterson]

A multi-artist auction could be done pretty simply. Just make sure the bidders specify which artist they're bidding on. Bids that don't specify artist are ignored.  

[AvidLebon]

You guys have my permission to make it. biggrin I haven't done much with art auctions before so I think someone with more experience in that area would be more suited.  

[Beware the Ace of Spades]

Maybe some livestream tutorials!  

[AvidLebon]

what would you like the tutorials on?  

[Pxlated]

Dunno if it's been done but I haven't seen any - but does the group have a chat room on DA? It's fun hanging around those. It's good for help and inquiries too.

 

[Cassidy Peterson]

I could set up a dA chat. It's not too difficult.  

[AvidLebon]

Yeah, we could make a chat. I think it's a good idea. My only concern is that if we have enough people interested- one person sitting in the room for hours waiting isn't fun at all. I wonder if there is any way to code it so that you could chat ON the group page? If not I can make a link.

Is anyone good with IRC type stuff? I tried using DA's system to connect it to Trillian but I didn't have luck (I'm not much of a techie person. :/)
